RE: Artie Shaw concerto

Many years ago Henry Cuesta performed the Artie Shaw Concerto once with the Robert Farnon Orchestra at a special concert featuring Vera Lynn in Toronto in the late 1960's. He also performed this Concerto which was broadcasted in August 1975 from the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. The featured orchestra was Paul Grosny, who is a Toronto studio musician of some note. They used an arrangement virtually identical to the Artie Shaw recording of 1940 except that they omitted the boogie keyboard/rhythm part at the beginning and the solos at the end of the first part. The rest was identical. Henry Cuesta did a magnificent job of this. I did record this off the air together with the balance of the program. I still enjoy it today. I would imagine that the Toronto Musicians Union would know the source of the arrangement. I am not sure how the copywrite laws work but I know there are a lot of stock arrangements for big bands out there.

Hope this helps.

Gerry.
